Malpractice insurance
- page 2

I am a fourth year student in a BSN program. Today, in my leadership class we were discussing malpractice insurance. I am curious, how many RNs carry their own malpractice insurance? Why or why not?... Read More

The prices depend on your current work status PT or FT. I paid for FT although I don't work FT. I paid for FT just in case I pick up extra shifts that put me in FT position liability. Just a piece of mind to have.

Wow, thank you all so much!! I honestly had not even considered carrying my own until we talked about it in class. I didnt know it was so common among nurses! Now, I am definitely going to look into it!

That's way too much! Professional Liability Insurance for nurses, nursing medical malpractice. . This is what I have and I think a lot of other people do too. I can't remember exactly how much it is (I renew every year in May so it's been a while) but I think its around $100 for the year for max coverage. I think it is even cheaper as a new grad. Definitely worth it

I have NSO and actually have carried with them since I was a student. It's very cheap and even though my employers have all offered some protection to me, there's always the chance that if something ever happened that our interests would not be the same. I see no compelling reason NOT to have it. I had one professor in nursing school who said if you carry liability insurance you are more likely to be sued but I've seen nothing to back that up.
